SEE IT: O.J. Simpson's infamous white Bronco has been rediscovered, and it's in perfect condition

A mystery surrounding O.J. Simpson’s murder trial that has spanned over two decades could finally be solved on Tuesday.

Simpson’s infamous white Ford Bronco has been discovered, Inside Edition claims.

The owner, whose identity will be revealed on Tuesday, claims that he’s hidden Simpson’s getaway ride for years in prime condition inside his California garage.

“It’s iconic,” he said about the 1993 Ford Bronco.

The owner claims to have kept it in such good condition that he hasn’t driven more than 20 miles on the Bronco.

The white Bronco was made famous by O.J. Simpson's getaway attempt in 1994, with a revolver pressed against his head.


His care for the car deeply contrasted with Simpson’s treatment of the Bronco, who infamously lead cops on a low-speed chase through California's freeways for over an hour in 1994.

The owner told Inside Edition that he’s treating the Bronco as an investment.

The Bronco’s claim to fame came when 95 million viewers watched Simpson attempt to flee at 40 mph, ending after the former football star surrendered to police.

It was the nation’s first televised car chase. Two years later, Ford discontinued the Bronco line in 1996.

The notorious ride was reported to have been sold for $200,000 in 1996 to an anonymous buyer, but shifted hands several times since.

It was once in the hands of “porn king” Michael Pulwer, but was recently bought by a collector who picked up the Bronco for a reported $75,000.

“It’s well taken care of. It’s not on the street,” Pulwer told the Daily News in 2014.

Simpson’s murder trial has recently resurfaced after“American Crime Story” focused its dramatic series on the case surrounding Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman’s death.

Tuesday’s episode of “The People v.s. O.J. Simpson” is also expected to feature a re-enactment of the infamous car chase featuring the white Bronco.

Clean out your computer day: 10 easy tips to speed up your PC

Tired of your computer running at a snail’s pace? Here are a few simple tips for boosting the speed of your PC.

Clean it

An easy way to boost your PC’s performance is to simply clean inside it (very carefully). Dust, dirt and debris can clog up your computer’s fan and impede airflow, causing it to overheat.
It’s a good idea to open up your computer (when the PC is turned off) and give it a thorough clean using a small brush or vacuum, on a regular basis. This should help keep your computer running at an optimum speed.

A clean-up

Computer maintenance is recommended on a monthly basis. Disk defragmentation is the process of consolidating fragmented data on your hard disk so it works more efficiently.
If you use Windows, go to Start > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup > Disk Defrag.

Invest in a hard drive

External hard drives are a great way to store large volumes of data. Saving files on your computer eats into the space on your hard drive.
A hard drive that is 85 per cent full or more will affect your computer’s speed.

Shut down your browser tabs

Having too many browser tabs or programs open at once will put a strain on your computer’s RAM (Random Access Memory) and could cause your struggling-to-cope PC to slow.A hard drive that is 85 per cent full or more will affect your computer’s speed.

Shut down your browser tabs

Having too many browser tabs or programs open at once will put a strain on your computer’s RAM (Random Access Memory) and could cause your struggling-to-cope PC to slow.
RAM is in use when tasks are being executed by different programs. You can boost your RAM with a simple upgrade.
You can check your PC's RAM usage by opening the Windows Task Manager.

Uninstall unused programmes

You can free up space on your computer by uninstalling the programmes you rarely use.
This can be done on a PC simply by clicking on the Control Panel’s Programs and Features page.

Scan your computer

A virus can infect your computer and make it sluggish.
The best thing to do is run a malware virus scan using anti-virus software or by downloading a free tool. However an over-zealous anti-virus software can slow down your computer.

Updates

Let your PC automatically download and install essential updates without constantly bothering you with requests.
On Windows, go to My Computer > Properties > Automatic Updates. Make sure ‘Download and Install Automatically’ is ticked.
Updates can enhance the security and performance of your computer so fully shutting down your computer will also help keep it running smoothly.

Web browser

Cookies, which are files created by websites you've visited, are stored by your web browser.
It’s advised to periodically clear your browser history to avoid a build-up and help it run faster.
Go to ‘History’ menu on your browser and then click ‘clear browsing data’.

Restart your PC

“Restart your PC at least once a week, especially if you use it a lot,”  Microsoft explains.
“Restarting a PC is a good way to clear out its memory and ensure that any errant processes and services that started running get shut down.”

Speed up your startup

There’s a simple way to control how many programs load automatically when you turn on your computer.
Go to Start > Run and type in “msconfig” and then press Enter. From the Startup tab you can untick the programs you don’t want to automatically launch when you turn on your computer.

Woman who drank heavily for 40 years develops a BOOZE HUMP on her back and huge lumps on her neck and armsWoman who drank heavily for 40 years develops a BOOZE HUMP on her back and huge lumps on her neck and arms


A woman who had been an alcoholic for 40 years developed a massive hump on her back as a result of drinking.

Doctors who treated the 64-year-old were astounded to discover she had a so-called ‘buffalo hump’.

Her condition had initially left them baffled as the patient also had huge lumps all over her neck and arms.

As a last resort, they were forced search on the internet - and eventually diagnosed her with the rare illness Madelung disease.

Normally seen in male alcoholics, it causes fatty tumours called lipomas to form on the torso.

Describing her case in the journal BMJ Case reports, doctors at the Brooklyn Hospital Center said the patient arrived confused, unable to tell the time and with weak limbs.

After examining her, they were shocked to discover huge lumps all over her upper body.

‘At first glance, we noticed multiple swellings all over the body - around the neck, upper back and upper extremities, which were very peculiar to the medical team,’ they wrote in the journal.

Upon speaking to the patient, she recalled having suffered progressive muscle weakness for a year.

This had become so bad she had become barely able to leave the house, she explained.

She then admitted she had drunk heavily for 40 years, her last binge being around two weeks earlier.

Blood tests revealed she had ketoacidosis, a rare but potentially life-threatening condition normally seen in people with type 1 diabetes, for which she was treated immediately.

This is where the body starts metabolising fat, leading to the formation of waste products called ketones.

These build up in the blood, causing it to become acidic, which can lead to coma or death if left untreated.

Decades of drinking had also left her with fatty liver disease, they found. 

To discover whether the mystery lumps were cancer, they sent her for scans, and found they were benign lumps of fat beneath the skin on her shoulders, biceps and triceps.

This led to her being diagnosed with Madelung disease - a rare illness usually more common in men, and associated with alcoholism, diabetes, fat disorders, liver disease and people of Mediterranean ancestry.

The symptoms vary greatly from person to person, but it usually causes fatty tissue to accumulate under the skin, leading to a loss of mobility in the neck.

In the majority of cases, the disease is benign; however, lipomas can become cancerous in rare circumstances.

It is not yet understood how heavy alcohol drinking leads to the disease, but in non-alcoholics it may be caused by changes in the DNA in the mitochondria in the cells. 

The woman said she had been aware of her deformities for five years, but they didn’t bother her physically, and she didn’t care how they looked.

Doctors explained she could be treated with liposuction and abstaining from drinking, which may stop its progression.

After much discussion, the woman decided to stop drinking, but was unwilling to have surgery, the report concludes.
